Middle school kid coached this year

I wanted to share a little highlight tape of a kid I coached this season in jr high. I've coached for 14 seasons as a volunteer offensive coach, and coached some good ones including most recently Kaleb Blanchard and Tevin Lawson, and against guys like Carlton Perkins.
This kid was the best I've seen in junior high. Nearly 2000 yards and 30 tds on 70+carries
We are a small middle school but played some big programs like Zachary high's feeder school Northwestern, mandeville, and parkview baptist.
A few schools we played had literally 3X the student population as we do
He is his little tape we put together for him. Let me know what you think, and remember this is a 14 year old child.
Balance and vision are his strengths.

Looks great. Only thing I noticed that irks me is the way he finishes. He's fast, really fast. Play that way. Jogging into the endzone and letting someone be close just irks me like I said. Kid is very talented though.

He's pretty good.
Are y'all gonna try to keep him in the LP school system or let the private schools recruit him?

Did that once on that video, after reversing field twice. Kid was probably tired. Most other times he accelerates into the end zone regardless of who is around. Or not around.
I coach middle school. I don't try to recruit or steer a kid anywhere for their high school choice. But he loves his teammates, loves playing in Denham.

What do you call the offense you're running? I've never seen a back lining up that deep.

It's a variation of the pistol but we happened to have two very good tight ends this year so we ran it out of two tight most times
The tight ends are off the line because we run hurry up no huddle and they can quickly move or motion
But tyre gets that deep because he hits the inside zone so hard and fast downhill we had it put him at 10 to give the QB time to catch the shotgun snap and make the handoff

I believe this is the same kid that played for the youth yellow jackets team last year ,and set all the rushing records in that league. Got to see him lead the A team to the championship he was unstoppable.

damn good video. He leaps and bounds beyond everyone else.
Question, is he an LSU fan?

Like many middle school kids he likes what's popular right now. Which means he likes Alabama
But I took him to the LSU-Florida game and he had a blast and was trying to get Jeremy hill to come talk
Craig Loston was at one of our games and spoke with him afterwards. Didn't mention LSU, but just told him he had a bright future and was impressed by him and to keep his nose clean

Very impressive!! I do a lot of highlight tapes for high school kids in Louisiana. My job is to dissect game film and spot things that I know college coaches want to see. I saw a lot of great things in that video. When I watch a film on a kid I look at it a little different than most people. It was very impressive. This kid will be highly recruited.

Kids very good for his age and against other middle schoolers.
5'8 155 is what it said on the video. Hopefully he gets a few more inches on him. Im sure the weight will come with age. But, there are a lot of great middle schoolers that play just like that young man, but dont grow when they get past 8th grade.
While I was watching his video the entire time i kept thinking of the highlights of LF when he was a freshman at St. Aug going against big time high school teams, just 1 year older than Tyre. And he was pretty much the same size he is now. Crazy to think that.
But yea Tyre looks like a great middle school football player. But you gotta wait and see what happens when he gets older before we start talking offers here. Def looks promising though.

He does have great vision. His speed is very good too, but not elite......and I am basing that off of peer 14 year olds.
It'll be interesting to see if he progresses into 16-17 years old. Right now, I could see him at 5'10" - 6' weighing 185-205. IF he grows linearly.
You never know how mother nature will bring him along, but he does have college scholarship written on him at the moment. Maybe SEC level, maybe Conference USA level.....too hard to tell at this point.

The 4.68 was prior to the season. The high school coaches since a clocked him at 4.64, which is not much of a change but I remember we had kaleb at 4.75 at the age and he ended up running a 4.44 and 4.41 at LSU and A&M camps respectively
Considering kaleb was the fastest we had ever clocked in middle school and tyre has him by a full tenth at that age I would think he is on par with elite speed.
Obviously the size of a guy like LF is ridiculous for that type of speed, but he just isn't that type of runner

I would like to add that I too realize there is plenty of time before now and the time he would ever be looked at, and I too have seen some very promising players peak out and never realize what turned out to be very premature expectations
Heck the kid whose records tyre broke never got bigger than 5'7" 155 and is in prison right now. I also remember Bret Terrance in middle school being nearly impossible to stop and he kind of never grew.
But tyre is such a great kid and teammate I just wanted to get his name out a bit. Putting up those kinds of numbers he won many game balls and award stickers and actually have away most of them to his lineman every game.
He would win a game ball in film, stand up and thank his linemen then hand his gameball to his fellow captain on the OLINE and tell that kid to give it to whom he felt deserved it on the line this week.
Quality kid. When he was asked by the radio about carrying his team to the championship he said something along the lines of "it's not me, our defende is great. I've never been hit harder than I do everyday going against our defense, and I think we have the best QB in the parish"
